You... you embody the spirit of these "Extreme Mavericks". No mind of your own. No willpower or passion behind your actions. Only brainless actions you think are necessary.
Not that it makes a difference, anyway. It was the moment you stepped from the shadows to fight you cemented your very fate.
Great. Now more potential pests to worry about.
Agile. Serges. I've terminated one of them. Has anything made itself known on your end?
Not at the moment. Though we are almost finished evacuating the area.
Similar could be said for my case as well. There is currently nothing I have found doing my reconnaissance.
Should we come to your aid, Captain?
No. Wait until my signal. Until then, you are to remain where you are and combat anything you find from there.
Well, alright...
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me! What do we even do about THIS!?
Well, I might have something... It's going to require a bit of time and quite some luck, though.
Oh, GREAT. Luck! The one thing we DON'T have!
Just buy me time, okay!?
This is the end!
CHAOS...
GROAAGHHHH--
BLAST!!!
Ugh. Gag me with a spoon.
You-a-know those guys?
Unfortunately. Last time we met, though, Waluigi-- that backstabbing beanstalk-bodied brute-- had gotten rid of them.
(What do they... do?)
Throw hammers, roll in their shells, that lame stuff. Don't let them do anything together and you'll be fine, or whatever.
you guys can handle the small fry. I'll take care of the too-big-for-your-britches brat over there.
Ha! Da look on your stupid fa--!
Huh. He-a-looks like he can-a-take care of himself...
(So lets take these guys outta the equation, instead!)
*bwip* (To think this all happened just after I was rebuilt*...)
Okay, I fully deserved that, but I insist you at least hear me out on something that even my copy would likely worry-
It's not like the true blue runt or his five friends†were any better than you!
Nobody knows what's best for this city. Except me!!
Po-yo! (Ta-da!)
Come on, already! We're trying to beat this guy, not make a turnip garden!
Look, I'm trying my best here, alright?
Yes! Got it!
Great! But there's just one small problem: I don't think a single bomb is going to harm this thing in any shape or form!
Then, good news! I'm not aiming for the invincible giant over there!
So... you guys didn't beat him with Gamma II?
Of course we didn't, you green buffoon! Why do you think I would be here if otherwise? That maroon menace is still out there, and he could possibly be wreaking havoc upon the world as we speak!
Bass--
Don't "Bass" me! You couldn't possibly know how I feel!! I spent all of my life, working hard and growing stronger, desperately attempting to match the criteria of the ultimate robot!! And not only am I upstaged by you during all our future encounters--
But rather than a competent genius, all I have is a useless creator that couldn't create successful robots (myself not included) for his life!
I take offense to that, you know. I neither met this "harbringer of chaos", nor lost to him. And, besides, if at all-- At least I've beaten Mega Man.
Well, you would have lost either way. This guy was far beyond anything we've ever seen from... anyone.
I wouldn't be so sure. He will fall under the might of the Stardroids when the time comes to battle once again.
I apologize for not being there to fight alongside you all. If there is even the slightest chance I may be of assistance, I will not hesitate to act.
Yes, yes, Duo, that's nice and all, But what is initiative without a plan to act upon!?
Who are you!?
And why should we trust you!? For all we know, you could be the exact same guy we met. This could very well be a trap!
...Then what do you know about him? Can you tell us?
Is that a bot capsule? No...the construction's shabby at best...wait, it must be a bootleg...! Geo, put that down! A single bolt of electricity could set that thing off, creating who knows what!
The majority of these are UKR corpses. Strange that they managed to get through considering that the door's still intact.
AA. AAA. AAAA.
If you see any liquids in here, do NOT touch them. I know it seems obvious, but you'd be amazed.
The fact that we programmed a robot with YEET in its dictionary baffles me.
Er, I mean...
Ringleader, can I call a timeout? I have a urgent matter to attend to.
rd...
You have ruined my vibe and that will not go unpunished. Go ahead. Open fire, if you're that stupid.
We're not here to attack unless you strike first. Kilroy wishes to negotiate assuming you're willing to.
Gentlemen, lower your weapons. That's a surefire way to get killed after all. *!*

You said you were one of seven experiments, correct?
Indeed. I was the third, to be specific.
Well, we've dealt with the two Extreme subjects and Tox Man before, and if we can trust Metal Sonic, Spyborg's also been taken care of...know anything about the other three?
I didn't hear any names, but I remember a maid robot, a small mechanic, and...
I doubt you're actually aware how much of this is helpful and how much it's going against what you were reprogrammed* to do.
Of course, I might as well be talking to a wall right now. Or rather, an Extreme Adaptor.
Zip it! You're just trying to soften me up like I'm not-
My intention wasn't to let your guard down. It just ended up being a brief opportunity.
Augh, what a load of crap!! You've taken Mario Finales point-blank but when a stupid bomb decides to hit you, that's when you crumble!?
(Ludwig... whatever master plan is so important it involves getting beat down by these guys... I hope it's worth it.)
I suppose all that is left is to wait until--
--Until you get kidnapped.
Kidnapped? I would doubt after the frequent invasions of this castle that they would attempt such another thing.
And I doubted for decades wearing a fake mustache* would work, but here we are several decades into the future. If anything, Ludwig likely split everyone up on purpose to distract them.
Toadsworth, I appreciate and understand your skepticism, but don't you think it wouldn't hurt to at least stop speculating for one moment?
...
...I suppose you have some merit there, your majesty. How bad could things get from here?
Yes, Princess Toadstool. How bad could things possibly get?...
...Just so we're clear, this does mean we are kidnapping you.
